RIP CoronaRaptor

How’s everyone’s alignment been?? Straight as an arrow? :banana-mario:

You have your turbine wheel, which is connected to a shaft, which is connected to the compressor wheel. The turbine wheel is the half of the turbo that the exhaust gas drives. The compressor wheel is the half of the turbo that compresses the atmosphere into "boost" for the engine. The turbine...

99% sure they'll put a new engine in. That's almost how it always goes, all things considered here. Not even a rebuilt engine, a brand new engine that could've easily been in route to the Raptor assembly line. The old one will go back for diagnostic. Typically any catastrophic failure of new...

Mind you it's been a few years since I've spun a wrench for a living but, that looks like your front differential, and the machined flat spot with the three holes is where the bench mount goes for servicing the unit.

Looks nice. Good work.

My gen 1 still kicks your gen 2s ass... FACT!!!

106 was straight out of the Ford service manual. It could have changed since I posted it. The difference is so slight I wouldn't worry about it. This way you know they won't fall out :ROFLJest:

That's a good question. Maybe the magazine reviews will touch on this for us.

Yeah that might attract some attention haha

A tuned 6.2 is easier to sneak by as they have very few problems and not constantly on Fords radar.

Well I figured I'd throw the diesel thought out as an olive branch. Might be someone out there that wants to work their Raptor like a Clydesdale. Actually I'm lost at where the diesel adds value in the F150 line up. The ecoboost has similar power delivery. The diesel should get better mpg...

Take it to the antiques roadshow:ROFLJest:

I think if they can keep the rack unit from getting hot, it should be an upgrade.

Ford has been super **** about warranting catastrophic damage for the current ecoboost engines after they've been tuned. I imagine they won't change policy for the gen2 Eco. But like Wilson already said, the 6.2 was breaking other things before it was breaking. The driveshafts will twist up...
